Marietta, Georgia was legally recognized by the Georgia General Assembly on December 19, 1834 although homes had been built by early settlers near the Cherokee town of Big Shanty, which is now Kennesaw, by 1824. The Georgia Military Institute was founded there in 1852, and the city was incorporated in 1852. - Local Identifier:
